About Updating and Restoring Software

You can use iTunes to update or restore iPad software.

Â

If you update, the iPad software is updated. Your downloaded applications, settings,
and data aren’t affected.
Note: In some cases, an update may also include restoring iPad.

Â

If you restore, the latest version of iPad software is reinstalled, settings are restored
to their defaults, and all data stored on iPad is deleted, including downloaded
applications, songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other
data. If you’ve backed up iPad with iTunes on your computer, you can restore data
from the backup at the end of the restore process.

Deleted data is no longer accessible through the iPad user interface, but isn’t erased
from your iPad. For information about erasing all content and settings, see “Resetting
iPad”
on page 125.

If you use a Bluetooth headset or keyboard with iPad and you restore settings,
you must pair the Bluetooth device with iPad again to use it.
